Ones with Forge turbo inlet pipe

[insanekiwi]

Hi guys, had a question for you all.

I got my TIP installed (by a mechanic), and back of the engine between the firewall, there is a thin piece of metal that runs all along the back. The sharp corner end of it seems to be rubbing against the TIP. I am guessing over time with movement, this could potentially damage the TIP and create a leak.

Can I bend this metal piece? I don't know why it's there... do others install also seems to be right against it? If you look down using a torque on the back, you should be able to see....

Thanks..

Apparently this is a heat guard, and can be bent, which i will do tomorow.

Just read this and you are correct, heat shield, most ive seen havent been bent and have a nice buff mark in them, pretty tight in there.

Thanks for confirming that Jmac, I will also let you know how the Forge shifter kit goes, my importer is trying to find out whether modification is required to get it fitted and working.

Yeah, it is very tight there I agree.
